Why Little Elm 70.3?
IRONMAN 70.3 Little Elm is one of the most accessible and rewarding races for our Oklahoma City triathlon community. Located just outside of Dallas, it’s a short drive south - making it an ideal destination race that doesn’t require flights or complicated logistics.
Held in early fall, this race offers cooler temperatures, a beautiful lake swim, and a fast, friendly course - making it perfect for first-timers, seasoned athletes, and everyone in between.
We believe the 70.3 distance is the sweet spot: long enough to challenge you, but achievable with consistent training and community support. Whether you're stepping up from a sprint or looking to conquer new ground, this is the race, and this is the team to do it with.
